Automotive oil is identical to lawn mower oil. They are both internal combustion engines. I would however recommend you use 100% Synthetic oil in that air cooled lawnmower engine.

Can you use car oil in your lawn mower?

Yes, you may use car oil in your lawnmower but it is not recommended to use multiweight oil. Use 30 weight only. Reason; the chemicals in multiweight won't cool the aircooled engine as well as 30 weight. I like Castrol 30 weight. There is no difference in oil for a lawn mower and oil for an automobile.
